It seemed as if it was a dark and dreary day.
I was a young Jew who needed a job.
The Great Depression in America caused most people in Germany to lose or not be able to get a job.
The rain started to fall and it was like I could hear every single drop as it fell.
The economy was falling apart and I was falling apart with it.
I heard some people say is was the Jews.

This couldn't have been true, but was I lying to myself?

We ran upstairs and waited for the storm to pass
I thought she was finished screaming
I heard the glass break in the downstairs
I started to sob into my hand
We were already very poor

This wasn't going to be good
I knew that I needed to leave this place
“Pack your stuff.”
I said with a firm voice
I couldn't take this anymore
I knew we had to leave this place
